Laser emissions plastered space like glowing wallpaper, but the space-ready Shenlong gundam outmaneuvered the shots like a ballerina. In it's cockpit the 57-year-old Wufei was fading fast. Suddenly a huge blast of yellow energy roared over the Shenlong's right shoulder, sweeping across the line of Space Virgo's like a broom. The Wing Zero flew past. Quatre maneuvered the hefty gundam to a stop. Heero, Trowa and Duo were dead, killed in suicide missions a couple weeks before. That left Wufei and Quatre to run Wufei's dojo. When they landed their gundams in a hidden place on L-5 colony, they returned to the dojo. The main chamber had crimson wallpaper with gold trim. Lights were fake torches set in sconces along the wall. Wufei raked one hand through his white streaked black hair. Suddenly he jumped back, removing a pistol from his waistband. Before him, at the bottom of the steps, were two young teenagers, roughly 13. The first was Li, a trim male who resembled Duo immensely, down to the death black clothing and baseball cap. With Wufei's practiced eye he saw the bruises on Li's knuckles, indicating a karate master. The second was a curvy female named Lisa, who watched Quatre quietly. Her curly hair was pulled back in a ponytail. She wore jeans and a blue turtleneck. Quatre could see potential in her. "We want to be your students, teach us the way of the gundam." Lisa asked. "And we shall." Quatre said. The next day they were out in space, each person in a Space Leo. "Lesson 1, your M.S. is more than just a tool for you to utilize. It has a soul and brain too." Wufei said. "I will disable your external view systems, see if you can avoid the attacks." Wufei signaled to Quatre, who slowly jetted towards Lisa. Suddenly Lisa's Space Leo launched into a huge string of karate moves, repelling Quatre's attacks. They couldn't be more delighted. That night they walked down a street, carrying ice cream cones. Ahead of them a gang of burly young men carrying pipes and knives walked over. They spotted the group and took on a more dangerous air. "Boost!" Lisa called, getting a running start. Li interlaced his fingers and as she stepped into his hands he threw her up high. She flipped a half dozen times before colliding perfectly with the lead gangbangers. She knocked both of them out. Li charged, smashing six gangbangers with his fists. Lisa intertwined her arm with a gangbangers, with a quick twist and tug she dislocated his shoulder and snapped his elbow. The fight continued for a few more minutes and the gangbangers who could still walk limped away as fast as possible. Triumphant, Li and Lisa walked towards Quatre and Wufei. Down the street, behind Quatre and Wufei, steam clouds blanketed the street. A tall man in a black raincoat stalked through the cloud. Then everything happened in slow motion. The man flicked back one side of his coat and removed a shotgun from a hidden pocket. Lisa screamed a warning and ran towards them. Shotgun blasts rang out, Quatre and Wufei were cut down. Li tackled Lisa, shielding her. The final shot hit his right arm. Lisa screamed again. Blood dribbled all over her clothes. Tearing a strip of cloth from Li's shirt, she bandaged his wound. "We shall avenge you, Senseis."
